We are finally preparing for our long awaited trip to Germany!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Linda and I will be traveling with her brother Mark, his wife Lisa and her other brother Mike. Unfortunately Linda’s other siblings were not able to make it. Linda has been working very hard since last Christmas to learn the German language, I am sure she will put her new knowledge to good use!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main goal is drinking beer<\/del> to visit the town of Wekenborg and learn a bit more about her families ancestry. While we are there – going to try and learn a bit more about the Schauf heritage as well and maybe visit a castle or two, some fairy tale towns, and a concentration camp.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be staying in a windmill that was built in 1871! You can learn more about it here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will try to update this site when we get going and I have something interesting to say. Or something to bore you with. Thanks to my wonderful team at IBM for backing me up on the many initiatives while I am gone. I really appreciate it!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I look forward to trying out some of my German jokes while I am there:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What do you call a pissed off German? A: Sauerkraut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: What do you call a Blind German? A: a Not see<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q: If your American in the living room what are you in the bathroom? A: European<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know you laughed…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
